The Gardens at Filoli

The Gardens At Filoli is a superbly presented, full-color, 128 page photographic survey of the beautiful gardens comprising the 654-acre Filoli estate about thirty miles south of San Francisco, California. The lush and varied greenery, ranging from weeping cherry trees in full bloom to Japanese maples and hydrangeas offering fall color contrast, make The Gardens At Filoli a splendid treat for the eyes of any landscape gardening enthusiast. Timmy Gallagher's text and captions fully showcase Christopher McMahon's breathtakingly beautiful photography in a work that would grace any gardening connoisseur's reference shelf collection.

After visiting the delightful Filoli, filled with glorious gardens exhibiting exquisite fauna and flora, I was inspired to try to capture the beauty, via camera. I failed miserably, and did not do justice at all to the picturesque landscape of Filoli. - Luckily Christopher McMahon was able to, in this lovely coffee table book. Each page is filled with color photographs of different areas of the garden, throughout different seasons.A definite must for anyone that wants to take home a little of the beauty that is known simply as 'Filoli'.
